I use my Mega Pidgeot which has Roost, Hurricane, and the last two moves are always changing. If I'm up against a team with some tanky SP.DF Pokemon, I'll use Mega/base Beedrill to get rid of it, the thing is so fast you won't believe it. If I'm going up against a powerful opponent and not have anything left, I'll use Garchomp base, (If cornered even more I may bring out the Mega Evolution) or I'll let Charizard Y/X to finish the job. I made up this team after about 1-2 years after playing Pokemon Emerald, and was quite a noob, soid it sounds pretty bad it isn't completely my problem, because these beasts won me many battles. Ooook. I would shirk the megas, and keep mega beedrill, or mega X. (Or Y, but you have a greninja, so sun...) Keep Mega X, and run this kind of set :

Ability: Tough Claws

Nature: Adamant

EVs; 252 Atk 252 spe 4 HP

Dragon Dance

Dragon Claw

Flare Blitz

Roost

Now, Beedrill is moot. Replace it with Scolipede or Forretress ( Offensive batonpasser or Entry hazard wall).

Garchomp @ Life Orb

Ability: Rough Skin (if possible)

EV's: 252 Atk 252 Spe 4 Def

Nature: Jolly or Adamant

Dragon Claw

Swords Dance

Fire Fang

Earthquake

Now Pidgeot has no real use now it isn't mega, we can replace it with..... *drum roll*

Talonflame!

I chose that to get fast powerful priority STAB, and just be an all out sweeper.

Or..... Gyarados! I'll lay out both sets.

Talonflame @ (nothing, for acrobatics, or sky plate, for brave bird)

Ability: Gale Wings (keep on trying!)

Nature: Adamant

EV's: 252 Atk 252 speed 4 Def

Flare Blitz

Brave Bird / Acrobatics

Swords Dance

Roost

Remember: GALE WINGS ONLY GIVES PRIORITY TO FLYING MOVES, AND ONLY AT FULL HEALTH.

Gyarados @ Leftovers

Ability: Moxie

Nature: Adamant

EV's: 252 Atk 232 HP 20 Spe

Dragon Dance

Earthquake

Waterfall

Stone Edge

Standard sweeper.

Greninja... I'm gonna leave that alone. For now. Yea, I run a team pretty similar to that on Pokémon Showdown! to see improvements I can make to my current team, since I very well know it sucks a lot. Right now in PBB I have a way better team now, and due to it I'm getting really high up in the ranks.
